I {past tense verb showing emotion} “{Exact Title+link from Space},” because…

One {sentence/part} that stands out for me is: “{Quote from the work.}” I think this is {adjective} because… {add 1 or 2 sentences}

Another {sentence/part} that I {past tense verb} was: “{Quote from the work}.” This stood out for me because…
